condition of the negro population and their
full enjoyment OF equal rights which he had
noted in passing through the Southern
states. Senator SHERMAN never made any
such remark as that during Republican
administration. On the contrary, he had
always predicted that if the Democrats
came into power the negro would go to the
wall or be forced back into slavery 1t was
very honest in Mr.. SHERMAN to admit that
all his dismal prophecies had been dismal
failures. The admission was made most
probably without any intention to boost the
CLEVELAND administration. but it will
have that effect. 1t spikes Republican
gun that has done great deaf of firing in
past campaigns. Mr.. SHERMAN's reason
for doing so is because he realizes that there
are no more Republican victories hid away
in the bloody shirt, and he wants to stand
under some banner that better symbol
ICES the progressive conditions of the age in
which he lives. Still. his Nashville speech
is a confession from the leader of the Re-
publican senate that the Democratic adj
ministration is not only a success so far as
its treatment of the race issue is concerned,
but it is also an admission that the Demo-
cratic policy is the only one suited to the
age and its conditions. 1t is confession
that the Democratic administration has done
more than the Republicans were ever able
to do to establish just relations between the
whites and the blacks. And hereafter
when the Republican orators and organs
renew their old-tilne plea that the Repub-
lican party should be restored to power in
the interest of the colored race, they will be
answered with Senator SHERMAN's Nash
vile speech.

RUDDYGORE's FAILURE.

The failure i'm New York of GILBERT
and SULLIvAN's latest opera. ''Rud-
dygore." is cheering indication that the
American people are getting tired of being
quilted. 1t has hitherto been the case that
anything English could be worked off upon
the American public simply through the
prestige attaching to the production from
the fact of its transatlantic birth. The
Anglo-maniacs, who are very numerous in
the metropolis. and who form, unfortu
nately, majority of the wealthy amuse-
ment-supporting people, have been chiefly
to blame for the imposition upon the peo-
pie of these inferior productions. Meri-
torious though the exposition of home talent
may have been, it has suffered from the i'm
portation of foreign brain labor, and, in con-
sequence, the great American play, like the
long expected American novel, has remained
unwritten, 1t looks now as though radi-
cal change was about to take place. that the
production of foreign talent seeking favor in
this country must not expect any adventurous
advantages, but must rest upon its merits
alone. That kind of competition American
auth.rs and actors are not afraid to meet.
All they want is an equal footing with our
English cousins, and given that there is
little doubt but that they will outstrp the
latter in the race for fame and fortune.
'Ruddygore's" failure presages better
things.

MISPLACED SYMPATHY.

The Indian Rights association, which is
on the whole quite an amable body of peo-
pie, is wasting a good deal of sympathy
Just now over the ApacheS under guard in
Florida. The association is nothing if not
sympathetic, in fact that is their chief
stock in trade and they fancy they have
abundant opportunity for casting it forth in
the case of these savageS. The two or three
members of the society who observed a real
live red man from car windows and the
other members who know all about his i'm
patience of restraint and his noble freedom
craving disposition, from reading FENNI-

Die red men would of course raise the hair
of an occasional settler. but that doesn't
enter into the calculations of the associa-
ton. 1t objects to the fact that the confine-
ment is unnatural, the climate is telling on
the Indians health and that this great gov
eminent should be above taking revenge
upon few homeless Indians. and a lot of
more twaddle of the same sort. The case
Is really very simply and is clearly under
stood by all except impracticable theorists
upon the Indian question. The Apaches
were guilty of the most blood thirsty atroc-
tiles. Had every one of them been hanged,
the punishment would have been no more
than just. The government really exer-
cised great forbearance in its treatment of
the Apaches and the sympathy of the In
dian Rights association is decidedly mis-
placed.

AN AWFUL DISASTER.
The Steamer Eagles Loss Involved
the Death of $50 Men.
Three Boys Cremated in a Fire in
California.

ST. JOHN, n. F.. March 81. - The
steamer Eagle was last seen by the steamer
Aurora on the night of the 18th inst. near
Funk's island. A terrible sea was running
at the time. The next morning the Aurora
could lind no trace of the Eagle, and moth
ing has been seen of the Inflated steamer
since. A message from Grecupond, about
one hundred miles from here, SAYS that
Lighthouse Keeper Cabot had boarded the
sealing steamers Vanguard and Hector.
Both these vessels reported passing spars.
a forecastle and the name board
Eagle near the spot where she was last seen.
Lighthouse Keeper Cabot is reliable man
and from his knowledge of affairs there and
the fact that the Eagle has not been seen
since the 18th, while the other boats of the
fleet have been spoken every few days. it is
universally believed that the vessel with her
260 souls on board was driven On the ter
rlble reefs so numerous inside Funk's island,
that the sea broke her up and that she prob
ably sank immediately with her fifty seamen
on deck and 30 seal fishers below. The
sea that swept the coast that night was the
worst ever seen by the oldest sealers on
board the other vessels. No ship once get
ting in those terrible breakers could posi-
bly, escape. Capt. Jackman, commander of
the Inflated vessel, was considered the
bravest skipper Newfoundland ever pro-
duced. He was called the luckiest man of
the sailing fleet until 1865. when for the
first time in his experience he failed to Sc
cure any seals. Last year bad luck again
overlook him. and he lost the steamer Res
olute near the same fatal Funks island. but
all his crew escaped. Later the same sea-
son he took command of the
Eagle, and within a few weeks she
broke her shaft. She was refitted, and a
month ago started with the rest of the fleet
in what is now felt was her last trip. The
majority of the crew are married and re-
side in this city and vicinity, aud all are in
the prime of life. This city is in mourning
to-day. This is the greatest calamity in
loss of life in the modern history of this
unfortunate colony.

has been in dispute since 1864, when it was
taken up by the Northern Pacific Railroad

WORK OF FANATICISM.

The published details of the trial now in
progress at Sioux City of the parties
charged with the murder of Parson HAD
DOCK serve to illustrate the dangerous ex-
tent to which fanaticism is sometimes in
dulged in this country. The temperance
people of that locality started the issue
that liquor selling was a crime both in the
sight of God and man. They talked the
matter over among themselves and preached
it to their listeners until they had worked
themselves up into the belief that liquor
vending was so gross crime it would be
doing GOD service to exterminate that class
whose business it is to cell liquor. Then
zeal was of the same order which fired the
heart of SAUL of Tarsus when he started
out on his memorable journey from Jeru-
salem to Damascus. The Sioux City Pro-
hibitionists went about breathing threaten
lngS and destruction against the LIQUOR
traficers. hailing them and sending them
to prison. And as result of fanatical
zeal, even in the best of causes,
there was reaction in public senti-
ment, and at the same time an organi-
cation of the prosecuted class to protect
themselves and their interests. Fanaticism
begets fanaticism, and when the prosecuted
liquor vendors found that they were getting
public sympathy they were fired with a
spirit of retaliation and emboldened to start
a crusade against the temperance people
They became more fanatical than the origi-
nal fanatics. Their fanaticism partook of
a more savage cast and resulted in blood
shedding. One of the most active leaders
of the temperance crusade was singled
out as the victim of the avenging LIQUOR
trafficers and he was murdered. The sup
posed murderers are now Oh trial, and if
the evidence is conclusive against them, and
it seems to be reasonably strong, the majesty
of the law will be indicated by hanging
them. No one will regret to see the guilty
persons swung up yet all fair minded people
will be of the opinion that the temperance
agitators are not wholly blameless. 1t was
their fanaticism which provoked the state of
feeling in Sioux City that lead to the murder
of HADDoCK. This episode is additional
illustration to the many lamentable ones that
are every day presented in this country of
how over zeal in any cause leads to bad re-
